Giant prickly stick insects (Extatosoma tiaratum) are relatively easy to care for, requiring a tall enclosure with good ventilation, a substrate that maintains humidity, and a varied diet of leaves. They need a temperature range of 20-25°C (68-77°F) and humidity levels around 60-80%. Regular misting is crucial for hydration and molting, and providing branches and perches will aid in climbing and shedding.
Housing:
A tall terrarium or vivarium is suitable for adults, while nymphs can start in a smaller mesh enclosure.
Provide ample vertical space for climbing and shedding.
Use a substrate that holds moisture, such as Zoo Med Creatures Eco Soil or ReptiBark, to maintain humidity.
Include branches, twigs, or cork bark for climbing and perching.
Temperature and Humidity:
Maintain a temperature range of 20-25°C (68-77°F).
Use a heat mat on one side of the enclosure if needed to achieve this.
Relative humidity should be around 60-80%.
Mist the enclosure 1-2 times daily, or more frequently if using a mesh enclosure.
Diet:
Giant prickly stick insects primarily eat leaves from various plants.
Popular food choices include bramble (blackberry), hawthorn, rose, oak, and hazel.
Always provide fresh, healthy leaves and ensure they are washed to remove any pesticides.
Place food stems in water-filled containers to keep them fresh.
Change food every 2-3 days or when it starts to dry out.
